Apollo
11 geological map of the Sabine D region, southwestern Mare Tranquillitatis of
the moon by Maurice J. Grolier, published by the US Geological Survey in 1970.
The 1:25,000 scale map, 41″ x 24″, entitled “Geologic Map of Apollo Landing
Site 2 (Apollo 11),” shows the lunar surface east of Tranquility Base with
multicolored circles indicating various mare and crater material. A section
marked “Lunar Surface Material,” in part: “This map shows the geology of the
region where Apollo 11 landed on July 20, 1969 (arrow in lower left corner of
map). The site is approximately 20 km south of the crater Sabine D, in the
west-central part of the Sabine D region, in southwestern Mare
Tranquillitatis.” Includes the original Department of the Interior, United
States Geological Survey (Map I-619) and the stapled 4-page information
packet. In fine, folded condition. The Sabine D crater was later renamed the
Collins crater in honor of Apollo 11 Command Module Pilot Michael Collins. No tears or fold splits. Fine.
